It was a Tuesday. A perfectly normal day for an average person to do work or attend to school.

I am but an average person whose life is completely normal. I was drenched in sweat. The sun was shining through the wooden windows illuminated the entire room with vitamin D filled sunlight. A colorful prism lined could be seen across the room I am staying in right now. I stood up while being on the left side of the bed. My phone was on the charge, showing that it is fully charged from the charging overnight. I walk up to the bathroom door which was opposite on the opposite of my window. The door was made of rosewood, showing a beautiful reddish brown color as being bath in the sun rays. I opened the door. It creaked lightly. I left the light switched unopened as I raised the bathroom curtains. The room was lit up from the yellow sunlight. I washed my bedridden face. The water was lukewarm. I saw myself in the reflection. Oval shaped face with small eyes, big ears, heart shaped mouth, long eyelashes, sharp nose and what looks like a unibrow. My eyes are brown and my hair is black. I live in the capital of Cambodia, Phnom Penh, which is a country located in the south eastern region of Asia. A neighbor of Thailand and Vietnam; also known as the Kingdom of Wonder due to the ancient megastructure , Angkor Wat, and the crappy security. You could easily get robbed while traveling on a Tuk Tuk, which is a motorbike pulled cart. I am 16 standing at the height of 5'5 and haven't had a growth spurt since I was 13. I quickly showered and went to eat breakfast downstairs.

I live in a 3 storied house with a room for each person. My room is on the 3rd floor; whereas the rest of my family resides on the first and second. I went downstairs along the weathered tiled staircase. The dining room was fairly small as it was only 3x4 meters. Food was already prepared and left on the table, covered with another plate to protect it from the disease inducing critters such as flies and such. I am in my uniform with black trousers, white long sleeve shirt and a red tie hanging down to my waist. I quickly ate my breakfast which was cold fried rice cooked who knows when. I quickly dined and since I was the only child, the house was a quiet sanctuary when everyone is either at work or when I'm at school. I got readied since I am going to be picked up by the school bus. I quickly cleaned up and went outside to wait for the bus and another days of choices while still feeling anxious from the dream full of regrets.
